Recife airport «International» (REC) arrivals can be an unpleasant surprise

You've been traveling for hours. Everyone is tired, the bags are heavy, and then you walk through Recife airport «International» (REC) arrivals into it: a wall of drivers you don't know, unfamiliar cars, and a taxi queue where the fare to your hotel is anyone's guess.

Most travelers only discover the problem once they're already moving: with a metered taxi at Recife airport «International» (REC), you often learn the final price at the end of the ride, not the beginning. What you pay depends on traffic and the time of day. And at busy hours, the queue outside the terminal adds more time to a journey that was already long.

Marco was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! The van that picked us up was pure luxury with cranking AC! The ride to Bologna was very comfortable with waters provided and help storing our luggage for the day while we explored the city. We can’t say enough about Marco! Thank you so much for an easy transition off of the cruise ship.
